The building was probably built around 1600. Around 1700 the upper floor and the attic floors were rebuilt. Since then it has served as a residential and commercial building.

architecture

The gabled house has a massive, sandstone ground floor. Above this, in half-timbered construction, an upper floor and a gable protruding over two floors are connected. The individual floors are optically separated from each other by cornices . The framework is provided with post - Gothic half - timbered ornaments, including curved St. Andrew's crosses in the window parapets , in the attic floors also grooved (so-called firebock), as well as quarter and semicircular shapes and curved struts. On the street-side facade of the first attic there is a door through which goods could be transported directly from the street to the attic with the aid of the freight elevator ( pulley ) installed in the gable . A gable roof forms the end of the house .
